i needed to let off some steam here. as i told everyone last week, i missed all of last week at work except friday. went in today and had a asthma attack, which the boss blames himself for. so he sent me home, well really to my sister's house. home is a one hour drive away and he know's my daughter is still enrolled in school here, so pointless to go home and have to turn around and come right back to pick her up. he blamed himself because he knows that i have many allergies and that they can and do trigger the asthma at times. he had me take a garden hose to the front of the law office and wash it down. covered in dust. for that matter everything is covered in dust. this is a farming community. he knows i am allergic to dust. i have to stay indoors most of the time. but anyway......he is not the one i am venting about. my sister came home for lunch and i was here reading. told her what happened and how he sent me home for the day. she said since i am feeling better that i should go back to work now. told her he told me not to come back today. she said since i have missed so much i should go back anyway. she is just like our mom. :censored: i love both dearly, but they drive me nuts sometimes. they seem to think i use the boss sometimes. i do not do this and never would. he is just very kind hearted and understanding about things. he also knew that i had went to the doctor last friday evening and that i have been diagnosed now with, IBS and stomach ulcers. the doctors are doing more tests and lab work on this friday to determine if i have got a bacteria in my stomach and intestines as well. the medicine they put me on doesn't work yet. it takes a while i guess. so i have not been able to eat much of anything for the weekend and can't smoke a cigerette without it acting up. but sometimes i just wish my sister (who is the younger of us) would just back off and leave me alone. :bbmad: i am not taking advantage of his good heartedness and don't like to be made to think i am. i am sorry she works at a place that she can hardly take or get time off from, but she chose it, i didnt'. one of the reasons i chose working for this attorney is the fact that it is only the two of us, and that he is not busy and can take time off from work and still get paid. but i do not over use this privilege. last friday was my day off and i returned to work anyway. he knows i do this. jeez.............how does one get their family to stay out of their business? in a town this small i know it is hard to do. but sure would like to know if i am the only one with this sort of problem.
